Yam Skins ??

J'Bo · 04-21-2003, 01:24 PM

I was just wondering how many people eat the skin of yams. Remember that i am not talking about sweet potatoes here, i am talking about yams. They taste kinda sweet to me, but sometimes it looks as though there is moldy stuff on the skin. Is it safe to eat the skin? If not i think that i may have conssumed some fungus.

I usually eat them....

Some Yams have more brown spots than others, I usually just cut those off, wash it well, then cook it in the oven.....

They're a little tougher sometimes than regular potatoes, but they're good fiber!

i am going to eat them tommorrow morning.

Just don't eat more than three.

I don't eat them - not for any reason other than it is easier to scoop out the middle and measure it.

I always eat them....just clean them thoroughly and cut off any particularly BAD spots. Remember that most of the fiber is actually in the skins so eat them whenever possible.
